Some combin<strong>at</strong>ions can also occur, so wecan often find b<strong>at</strong>hroom he<strong>at</strong>ers th<strong>at</strong> combine hot-airventing and pure radi<strong>at</strong>ion, depending on the requiredintensity and room temper<strong>at</strong>ure. We have also l<strong>at</strong>elywitnessed differenti<strong>at</strong>ion based on the developmentof new technologies, so we can divide convectionhe<strong>at</strong>ing from he<strong>at</strong>-wave he<strong>at</strong>ing. The convection technologyis represented by the most common he<strong>at</strong>ingobject in households – a radi<strong>at</strong>or.Convection or Radi<strong>at</strong>ionThe out-of-d<strong>at</strong>e traditional convection he<strong>at</strong>ing produceshot air <strong>with</strong> physical characteristics th<strong>at</strong> allow exposureto humidity and pollution <strong>with</strong> inorganic (dust)and organic (bacteria) substances. This type of hot airrises towards the top of the room, while the cold airretains its low position and enters another phase of thehe<strong>at</strong>ing process. Repetitive he<strong>at</strong>ing elimin<strong>at</strong>es humidityand the air becomes unpleasantly dry, which notonly causes feelings of discomfort, but can also leadto numerous health problems like allergy reactionsand chronic problems like coughing or asthma. In orderto convincingly describe the advantages of radi<strong>at</strong>ionhe<strong>at</strong>ing as opposed to convection, we will usethe comparison of n<strong>at</strong>ural he<strong>at</strong> sources, like the sun,against warm tropic winds. The human organism is n<strong>at</strong>urallydesigned to absorb he<strong>at</strong> from the sun, as our skinabsorbs 99 percent of our overall energy potential fromthe sun radi<strong>at</strong>ion. The warm and humid air currents, onthe other hand, have an unfavourable effect becausethey reduce the possibility of stable energy absorptiondue to the constitution of the human organism. Besideshaving unfavourable effects on the users’ health,convection he<strong>at</strong>ing also disproportionally warms upvarious parts of the room, has a damaging effect onthe elements of the he<strong>at</strong>ed room, and produces a lotof wasted energy because the amount th<strong>at</strong> is necessaryto supply the he<strong>at</strong>ing object doesn’t reciproc<strong>at</strong>ein adequ<strong>at</strong>e fashion.Floor and wall he<strong>at</strong>ing are popular he<strong>at</strong>ing systems, but19
